Saddam Sentenced to Death

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/...dam/index.html

Death by hanging, I didn't even know that was legal.

Hope Israel gets nuked by Iran for this. Because we all know who's responsible for the US attacking the mud countries in the middle east.

It's legal in Iraq, that's for sure.

Finally, Saddam gets what's been coming to him for years.

Whatever happened to firing squads..

This is more fitting imo, as his neck may not break.

They could be bastards and slowly lower him down so there is no chance of decapitation.

I don't think there have been any reported decapitations from hanging...

:shrug:

Someone still has my Execution 101 book.

lol, I doubt someone could be decapitated. But it could be physically possible.

They'd have to drop one off a tall building for a healthy human to lose his head to the noose.

It'll depend on the noose... if it's made of cheesewire then you'v got no chance.

And anyway, since when have people who have been in prison awaiting a death sentence ever been really healthy?

Hopefully this won't make a martyr of him.

Probably will, but only to the nutcases.

They should Pay Per View that shit all the way. More ratings than the Superbowl!

No, it should be the superbowl halftime show.

Probably will, but only to the nutcases.

Yah, but they're the ones I'm concerned about.

Those nutcases already think of him as a martyr.

I dont think even then, was watching mythbusters and there was an episode testing if a cable when snapped could cut flesh. I don't remember the strengths they tested but the results were the same, it just left a huge mark.

Well there's a slight difference in getting hit with a cable and having a thin but strong wire tighten around your neck. I'm pretty sure if a thin, strong wire were used to hang someone, they would probably get decapitated, or at least they would be cut down to the bone and then hang by the bone.

If you want dramatic effect then just tie some lead to his feet. Maybe a 100 or 200 lbs. of it. That might do the job.
